Responsible declaration for building works in Spain

It is important to know that you need to submit a responsible declaration for building works (declaración responsable de obra) to the town council. But do not worry: with a topographic survey carried out by professionals, you can obtain approval without problems.

What a topographic survey shows

A topographic survey is a technical process that consists of measuring and representing on a plan the features and dimensions of the land and the buildings standing on it. In other words, it is the best way to know the exact location of your property and the planning restrictions you must take into account to comply with the regulations.

Survey first, then submit the declaration

Carrying out a topographic survey before submitting the responsible declaration for building works will give you detailed knowledge of your property, including any easements and planning restrictions you must respect during the works. With this information you can plan the works more effectively and avoid legal or financial problems in the future.

The professionals in charge of the survey can also give you a global and detailed view of your property, which will help you take key decisions during the building process.

In short

In conclusion, if you are thinking of renovating your property, remember to have a topographic survey done so that the responsible declaration for building works is approved without problems. This step guarantees that the works comply with the planning regulations and avoids legal or financial problems in the future. Put yourself in the hands of professionals and enjoy your renovation with peace of mind.
